Couldn't you handle both raw rows and EOs by using the type NSArray<NSKeyValueCodingAdditions>?
You might as well return "Object" and not use generics if you do this, though ... The point is that you WANT a more specific EO class.

I think Lachlan's basic concept is the clearest so far (if this feature goes in at all):
@deprecated
public NSArray objectsWithFetchSpecification(EOFetchSpecification
fetchSpec) {...}
public NSArray<T> enterpriseObjectsWithFetchSpecification
(EOFetchSpecification<T> fetchSpec) {...}
this should be:
public <T extends EOEnterpriseObject> NSArray<T> eosWithFetchSpecification(EOFetchSpecification<T> ..)

public NSArray<NSDictionary<String, ?>>
rawObjectsWithFetchSpecification(EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec) {....}
... and this really isn't a ? type (which would imply that all the values are the same type, you just don't know what it is) .. I think it should just be: public <T extends EOEnterpriseObject> NSArray<NSDictionary<String, Object>> rawRowsWithFetchSpecification(EOFetchSpecification<T> fetchSpec ...)

I put the T here because then you can always declare the proper type of the fetch spec, but depending on whether you call eosWith or rawRowsWith, it will give you back the right thing. One question is whether these throw IllegalArgumentException if the fetch spec claims to want raw rows and you use the wrong method, or whether the method should override the setting in the fetch spec.
